Thanks Frederik for this clear statement. This is also different from the previous replies from the DWG where it was just said "The DWG follows the guidelines defined by the community.". It is also clear that the French community never went to the DWG asking them to "clean up the French cadastre mess". This is something we already did ourselves in the past. As already said, we still need the DWG to block someone when required. And this is also something we did in the past and will continue to do. > I say "as long as..." because the subsidiarity I mentioned in my post is a > real possibility; if the French community has a couple of willing and > capable people maybe we could experiment with setting up a sub-DWG > responsible for France only.

We have Christian who already applied for this role but we don't know if he received some answer so far. Another thread showed that recruiting a DWG member works by co-optation. Perhaps for some unknow reasons, you don't want him for this try in which case, you could select another one or we can call for other applicants.
